Now science can help you keep your resolution. Recent discoveries point to better ways to learn.How does the brain save new information? Think of the last time you looked up a number in the telephone book and dialed it. Could you remember that number five minutes later? Probably not! That’ s because it’s in your short-term memory.Our memory actually has three parts. Sensory memory(感官记忆) takes in information from our five senses,but these memories last for a few seconds.The short-term memory works like a holding area for new information- that is where you keep the phone number while you dial it. But if you can put the phone number into your long-term memory, you’ll remember that same phone next week.When you study, you transfer new information into the long term memory.Every time we learn something new, the structure (结构)of the brain actually changes, because we build new connections to the old information.Brain researchers have discovered four key points for better study.1). Make an effort. The brain remembers better when we are interested in the subject, already know a little about it, and know we will need the information in the future.2). Find the most important information and organize it. Your brain can process only a little information at one time, so don’t try to remember every detail. When studying a text book, look for titles,headings, and pictures to show you the main ideas.3). Make the new brain connections stronger. One skill is to recite(背诵)the ideas out loud in your own words.This is the most powerful way to transfer information from short-term to long-term memory.Another method is drawing a picture of the information.4).Give the new material enough time to soak in- your brain has to build new physical connections.For this reason, it’s better to study for several short periods than one long one. And staying up late before a big test doesn’t help.1. Where is the passage most probably taken from?A. A science newspaper.B. A medical examination report.C. A fashion magazine.D.A children’s story book2. From the passage, we can learn thatA. when we learn new information, we save it in our sensory memoryB reciting the new information out loud is a useless way to remember thingsC. you need to remember all the small details to really learn a subjectD. our brain changes physically when we learn new information3. What does the underlined phrase “soak in”in the last paragraph mean in Chinese?A.释放B.分离C.吸收D.修正4. Which of the following can be put into the"__▲___"in the title?A. Make Your ResolutionB. Use Your BrainC. Stay Up LateD. Test Your Brain【答案】1.A 2.D 3.C 4.BDHave you ever had an experience where you meet someone new, learn their names and think to yourself, “Wow, they really look just like their name!"What does this mean, exactly? Scientists are suggesting that humans tend to connect people's names with their appearance, and can even guess someone's name based on how they look.Researchers at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem in Israel collected thousands of photos of people’s faces.They labeled(贴标签)each photo with four names, Then, they asked volunteers to guess which of the four names was correct.The volunteers were able to guess the right name 38 percent of the time. It seems that humans are able to know certain characteristics(特点)of faces that can give them clues(线索)about someone’s name,Reader's Digest reported.However, this only works when we’re looking at names within our own culture. In addition, the volunteers were not as good at guessing the real names of people who use nicknames(昵称)more often than their real names.This shows that a person's appearance is influenced by their name only if they use it often.This kind of face-name matching happens “because of a process(过程) of self-fulfilling prophecy(自我实现预言), as we become what other people expect us to become,” Ruth Mayo from the university told science news website EurekAlert.Previous studies have shown that gender and race(种族) stereotypes(刻板印象) can affect a person’s appearance. The researchers believe there are also similar stereotypes about names. For example, people tend to think that men named Bob should have rounder faces because the word itself looks round. People may think that women named Rose are beautiful. They expect them to be delicate(娇弱的)and feminine(有女性气质的), just like the flower they are named for.1. What does the story mainly tell us?A. It's not polite to ask strangers about their namesB. There are several ways to guess a strangers nameC. People can guess others’ names based on their appearanceD. A person's appearance can be affected by three factors2. What do we know from this research?A. People are good at recognizing the different characters of facesB. The volunteers guessed nearly four names correctly out of tenC. Nicknames have a bigger influence on people’s appearanceD. Gender and race have no influence on a person’s appearance3. Dr. Ruth Mayo thinks some people look like their names because of_________?A. their unique cultureB. a self-fulfilling prophecyC. racial stereotypesD. their living environment4.According to the story, men named Bob are expected to__________.A, have big eyes B. wear glassesC. look beautifulD. have round faces5.what’s the best title for the passage?A. Good namesB. A recent researchC. Put a name to a faceD. People’s appearances【答案】1.C 2.B 3.B 4.D 5.C第二节任务型阅读（共5个小题，每个小题2分，共10分）下面文章中共有5处需要添加小标题，请从以下选项中选出符合各段意思的小标题，选项中有一项是多余的。

在英语中，"will be" 通常用于构成将来时态，表示未来的动作或状态。

当"will be" 用于倒装句时，通常是出于语法需要，比如在某些疑问句或条件句中。

以下是一些"will be" 用于倒装句的例子：
1. 疑问句中的倒装：
- Will you be coming to the party?
-你会来参加派对吗？
2. 条件句中的倒装（虽然"will be" 在条件句中不常倒装，但为了强调，有时会使用倒装结构）：
- Were I in your position, I would be making different decisions.
-如果我处在你的位置，我会做出不同的决定。

3. 以否定副词或短语开头的句子中的倒装：
- Never will be a better time to start than now.
-永远不会有比现在更好的开始时机了。

4. 以表示条件的短语开头的句子中的倒装：
- Should he be late again, we will start without him.
-如果他再次迟到，我们将不再等他。

请注意，"will be" 的倒装并不像"be going to" 或"have to" 那样常见，因为"will be" 本身已经表示将来时态，通常不需要通过倒装来强调将来性。

Fifty years ago, men rode on a heavy and dangerous kind of bicycle with a rather big wheel in the front and a smaller one at the back. The front wheel was as high as six feet and the one at the back was only a few inches indiameter(直径). When the present bicycles with two wheels of the same size was invented, it was called “safety” because people were so much safer sitting on a seat four feet from the ground than on one six or seven feet above the road. Even then riding on a bicycle was not so comfortable as the tyre were made of solid rubber. Later someone found the use of air-filled tyres and this helped to make the bicycle what it is today. Also, bicycles were made in various size to fit men, women and children. In many hot countries, people choose to use bicycles only for short journeys as they can travel cheaply and comfortably by bus in longer trips.

Here are examples of the things that a person with good education does or does not do.If you visit a Chinese family, you should knock at the door first. When the door opens, you will not move before the host says “Come in, please.” After you come into the room, you would not sit down until the host asks you to take a seat. When a cup of tea is put on a table before you or sent to your hand, you will say “Thank you” and receive it with two hands, not one hand, or they will think you are ill-mannered. Before entering a house in Japan, it is a good manner to take off your shoes. In European countries, even though shoes sometimes become very dirty, this is not done. In a Malay house, a visitor never finishes the food on the table. He leaves a little to show that he has had enough. In England, a visitor always finishes a drink or the food to show he has enjoyed it. This will make the host pleasant.1 .
